What do we all think of Boston? Does he negate the urgency fill the FS position? I remember us thinking Boston was a stop-gap but he settled in pretty well over the course of the season. King may be too valuable as a starting CB in the future, plus he provides a nice slot DB and depth right now.
Maybe a mid-late round competition for Boston, who remains the starter?..

I'm sort of in the don't fix what's not broke category. Get a monster LB and D-lineman..

IMO, Tre Boston played well enough, and is a good enough fit, that upgrading over him is *not* a priority.

Doesn't mean Telesco WON'T upgrade the position, as it can depend on how a lot of things fall. But there are CLEARLY much bigger concerns for the personnel department TO address than the FS position.

I can say pretty much the same things about Addae, too.

People ***** and moan about using a high draft pick on a kicker and yet the Bolts missed the playoffs because of two missed FGs.

I really like Coons depth on kickoffs...maybe he can overcome his rough start...these guys...u just never know...once they get to the bigs from college you cannot predict what will happen. I am more for trying experienced vets till u find a good one. Not sure why the Chargers had so much trouble with that working this year.

As far as the draft...I think the OL make great progress this year...I have never seen holes like that, and Rivers had decent pass blocking this year...maybe their current formula is working.

If there was a bonafide pass rushing linebacker, that would be my choice. Those guys can really make an impact.

2nd choice would be defensive line.

The chargers seem to have done with the DB's the same thing as they did with the OL. Just found guys that could play. But the pass rush really complements that too.

We definitely need a monster DT, as well as 1-2 monster LBers who can actually be every down players....... like SEAU, Lewis, Keikley.......

all of our current LBers are pure situational rotational LBers but not full time dominating ones....

Coons sucks. He drove another FG into a defenders face mask. He’s unclutch.

I think Lamp will be the new RT. If he best prospect on the board at #17 overall is a left tackle, I believe the Chargers will select him.

Barksdale was fine this year. Does anyone remember Miller/Houston/Mack going off this? He's not the road grader RT people pine for, but that's fine given the pass rushers in the AFC west. A competent free agent would be more expensive.

LB could be an area in Free agency. Or Defensive Tackle but I think LB will be hit using Free Agency. Especially if where drafting DT and OL make sense

Too early to know the needs, because some can be filled in free agency.
Oline has some young guys now in the interior. Okung was really good this year, Barksdale did not seem that good, but not horrible. I wonder if they look at Lamp at right tackle in training camp. How good was Wiggins? That would be a first question for me as the gm. Feeney looked like he had a future. Bring back Slauson? All things like that first before the draft.

OLB is a huge need still, and so is the interior of the dline. I agree that there always seems to be a few solid linebackers in free agency, anything decent they get would be an uprade. Do you count on Verrett again?

In this draft I think they might look at qb, seems about the right time.

Chargers ranked 4th overall this year in offense and that speaks to a huge improvement in the oline.
